Hi, I am used to Solaris and find my Macs confusing when using the command line. This particularly applies to top, networking and users configuration. Top just seems to be hopeless in comparison to the Solaris version and the network and user configuration just doesn't seem to work.

Is there a book that explains how it all works, from the Unix point of view rather than GUIs and is there a way of installing the normal top?

I am also a bit confused with the disk formats, some are case-sensitive and some aren't - what's with that? Is it true that Leopard now uses ZFS and can I convert all my Macs running Leopard to be case-sensitive ZFS now?

I am mainly running Leopard.
